nothing_o he_o have_v nothing_o to_o help_v he_o not_o one_o thought_n not_o one_o desire_n not_o one_o good_a inclination_n and_o therefore_o the_o scripture_n call_v it_o a_o new_a creation_n note_n whosoever_o be_v in_o christ_n be_v a_o new_a creature_n 2_o cor_n 5.17_o that_o be_v be_v create_v anew_o and_o therefore_o there_o be_v nothing_o praeixistent_v no_o not_o one_o thought_n all_o the_o thought_n of_o man_n be_v only_o evil_a and_o that_o continual_o so_o there_o be_v the_o same_o difficulty_n that_o be_v in_o the_o creation_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o then_o second_o there_o be_v another_o difficulty_n more_o than_o there_o be_v in_o the_o creation_n for_o as_o there_o be_v nothing_o praexistent_a to_o help_v so_o there_o be_v nothing_o to_o resist_v but_o here_o be_v something_o to_o resist_v the_o will_v it_o resist_v now_o the_o can_v do_v not_o resist_v no_o the_o bestow_n of_o the_o new_a power_n be_v no_o more_o than_o another_o creation_n but_o the_o

they_o resist_v all_o the_o soul_n it_o resist_v and_o the_o great_a resistance_n of_o all_o be_v the_o resistance_n of_o the_o will_n for_o the_o will_n be_v the_o utmost_a strength_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o therefore_o here_o lie_v the_o infinite_a difficulty_n of_o the_o conversion_n of_o a_o sinner_n namely_o in_o the_o turn_n of_o the_o will_n it_o require_v more_o power_n than_o be_v require_v to_o the_o creation_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n god_n put_v himself_o forth_o more_o when_o he_o convert_v a_o sinner_n than_o when_o he_o create_v a_o world_n and_o therefore_o the_o scripture_n call_v the_o day_n of_o conversion_n of_o man_n will_n the_o day_n of_o his_o power_n thy_o people_n shall_v be_v willing_a in_o the_o day_n of_o thy_o power_n psal._n 110_o 3._o in_o

indeed_o have_v a_o sinner_n yield_v as_o soon_o as_o he_o sin_v mercy_n will_v not_o resist_v he_o but_o mercy_n have_v be_v deal_v with_o he_o and_o he_o abuse_v all_o mercy_n and_o therefore_o he_o have_v mercy_n to_o resist_v nay_o and_o wisdom_n one_o will_v think_v to_o resist_v too_o what_o a_o wilful_a fool_n pity_n he_o not_o lord_n there_o be_v no_o reason_n he_o shall_v be_v pity_v if_o

resist_v he_o nay_o god_n have_v himself_o as_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v to_o resist_v he_o yea_o and_o mercy_n to_o resist_v he_o it_o be_v not_o so_o in_o the_o creation_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n the_o creature_n have_v never_o provoke_v god_n not_o to_o create_v it_o but_o the_o sinner_n have_v provoke_v god_n never_o to_o convert_v he_o so_o that_o now_o god_n must_v have_v power_n over_o
